Deutsch-Griffen () is a municipality in the district of Sankt Veit an der Glan in Austrian state of Carinthia.
==Geography== Deutsch-Griffen lies in the north of Carinthia, about northwest of the state capital Klagenfurt. It is situated in the eastern Nock Mountains, in a left tributary valley of the Gurk River on the Griffnerbach creek. The municipal area extends from the Gurk up to the Styrian border in the north. On the northern edge, there is a sparsely populated area along the Paalbach, which is cut off from the rest of the municipality and can only be reached in a very roundabout way. Therefore, it is locally considered to belong to the Flattnitz plateau, part of the neighbouring municipality of Glödnitz. In the west, Deutsch-Griffen borders on Albeck in the Feldkirchen District.
